I made a new expert time record, with a huge gap - 8 seconds NF and 6 overall. I was not expecting this when i played, because i just started to play.
My former records were : 56.86 FL and 58.57 NF
My new one is : 50.80 NF

It's really amazing, it has been a long time since i know i can make a better time, a lot of good estimation, but I always blasted them.
With this record, i would be #99, so top100 when i just came back in the top200!

thanks to you, but the top100 will not last long if i don't improve a little bit more.
And the sub50 will be hard, of course it would be great, but first i need to get some good sub60, because i only have 3 sub60, 1 FL and 2 NF...
I saw that i will be #23 in NF ranking, and #6 in France, but with a 4-seconds gap with the #5.

I did really well in this last tourn... 2x9 (was hoping for 10, oh well) on beg, 11 and then 13x4 on int, and three sub50s on exp.
And some new records/interesting stuff:
- Beat many top20 players (although I probably played more than them)
- New NF exp 3bv/s record: 3.627 -> 3.684 (video here).
- Two 12.859 int times only 43 seconds apart - timestamps 1333251873 and 1333251916. The 3BVs were 35 and 44. As lucky as this is, it's extra amazing to me because these are very good int times for me!

zini/s record. Would post in a personal records thread, but there is only a 3bv/s thread. Applying 3bv to a flagging game is wrong, and imo can only be kept around for historic reasons. Zini is a consistently better measure of the work on the board, and should thus be used.

Not sure how much this counts, since it's not a normal MS board, but 44.59 on Beta-Expert (24x24 99mines). 142 3BV at 3.18 3BV/s. I can probably do even better since it's an easier board than Exp, but a 45 is pretty good for now

A couple of days ago, I beat my 3bv/s record on expert, and then tied it not much later:

The first game was 52.92 rt on 243 3bv, the second game was 48.75 rt on 224 3bv. Both work out to 4.59 3bv/s, since the second game is slightly better and also sub50, I'll count that as my personal highscore.

Just got a 3bv/s record on exp. 3.52 -> 3.61 3bv/s.... Been a good day, and I've been consistently under 55, so yeah....

Interestingly this game's zini/s is tied to that zini/s record I had a few days ago, where it was only 3.19 3bv/s. Both boards had comparable zini but differ by 31 3bv. Seeing as zini is a better measure of board difficulty I wouldn't label this game as faster that the other...

Still, I don't mind the pop-up and the move up a world ranking, albeit one that doesn't really make much sense .
